Edgar Guest - Pa Did It!
Work rating: Medium

	The train of cars that Santa brought is out of kilter now;
	While pa was showing how they went he broke the spring somehow.
	They used to run around a track—at least they did when he
	Would let me take them in my hands an` wind `em with a key.
	I could `a` had some fun with `em, if only they would go,
	But, gee! I never had a chance, for pa enjoyed em so.

	The automobile that I got that ran around the floor
	Was lots of fun when it was new, but it won`t go no more.
	Pa wound it up for Uncle Jim to show him how it went,
	And when those two got through with it the runnin` gear was bent,
	An` now it doesn`t go at all. I mustn`t grumble though,
	`Cause while it was in shape to run my pa enjoyed it so.

	I`ve got my blocks as good as new, my mitts are perfect yet;
	Although the snow is on the ground I haven`t got em wet.
	I`ve taken care of everything that Santa brought to me,
	Except the toys that run about when wound up with a key.
	But next year you can bet I won`t make any such mistake;
	I`m going to ask for toys an` things that my pa cannot break.
